: and on nong Dunk’s IG there are actually always clips of making desserts and cooking and things like that and they’re filmed really well very seriously. is this also part of your passion? besides wanting to run a business do you also genuinely enjoy cooking and making desserts?
🌻actually i��ve always cooked and made desserts anyway. but the real turning point was Dunk’s mom. she said “hey Dunk our family cooks this much so why don’t you show people this side of yourself too?” Dunk would say that it’s only been about one or two years that everyone has realized “wow Dunk can actually cook and make desserts this well” actually it’s more like i’ve only just gotten the chance to show it cause i never thought it was something important or something i could develop further. ecause i was already doing it anyway. i was already doing it as a normal thing. i was like “hey the entertainment industry really has to be… acting - singing and dancing right? you know what i mean? aren’t there basically just those three things something like that?. so i focused on those but once i found the connection like “hey what if i take the things i like and apply them to the entertainment industry? it actually opened so many doors for me. i didn’t know that like “hey food clients could come to me or whenever people think about food or anything related to it at least my name Dunk would be there” it became new doors and new opportunities for Dunk and i feel like it goes beyond just singing - dancing and things like that
🌻i really have to thank my mom. i even argued with her like “why are you posting food videos? if post them who knows if people will even like them? and it doesn’t have anything to do with my career path in entertainment anyway?” but as it turned out everyone liked them and i’ve gotten so many new opportunities related to food thanks khun mae

: so where did the name actually come from? (( NAVORI ))
🌻: … Dunk used to be a really game-addicted kid very nerdy. every day i was with my friends playing football after football we’d play games then study. that was basically my whole life in high school. and there was an item in a certain game let’s not say the name of the game. go find it yourself. this item was called “the Blade of Navori” and it was an item that Dunk really liked. i felt like if i didn’t have this item something was missing. it just fit what i needed
so i was like hey if i can’t be without the “Blade of Navori” then i can’t be without Navori either
: there’s a story behind it. and as for the game not saying the name?
🌻: not saying it….

: is there anything you’d like to leave as advice for anyone who wants to start a business?
🌻: from Dunk’s perspective i still stand by what i’ve always said: “do what you love do what is your passion” something that everyone genuinely likes. try thinking about what area you really like. can you actually do it without forcing yourself?. like in my case i’ve already said that i don’t really feel like this is work. even if i go film … or finish “eyes on you fancon” at 1am i don’t really care cause i enjoy doing it. i can do it without feeling bored. if it were something else i’d probably delay it keep putting it off and saying “later later” but with this i don’t procrastinate. it has to be something you’re confident you can do without getting bored. and consistent is a key
🌻what do you call consistency in Thai?
: doing it continuously
🌻yeah doing it consistently/continuously. cause of course and i’ll say this—the business journey, whatever kind of business it is isn’t as glamorous as everyone sees. there will always be sleepless nights - testing things like this - having to fly here and there testing prototypes and having a team you can trust. that’s important too. bcause if you hire the wrong people or someone who might stab you in the back or cheat you these kinds of things have happened before. so everything has to be handled carefully. If you’re a business owner you have to look at every single point. you might not have to do every single thing yourself but you have to know everything every process that’s it. you’re good to go
: i really like what you just said: we might not have to do every step ourselves but we have to oversee every step ourselves
: that’s all for today the owner of nong Dunk
